Brow Boost – Jump-start your brows

Eyebrows are one of the most important features of the face - and yet they are often the most neglected.

Brow Boost, the hero product from Billion Dollar Brows, is the first step in achieving a thicker, fuller appearance to over-plucked and skinny brows. This deep conditioning treatment, enriched with vitamins and proteins which help condition your eyebrow follicles, has received huge amounts of press across the globe.

The two key ingredients Laminaria Digitata and Pelvetica Canaliculata (two types of seaweed found off the coast of Brittany, France) are rich in antioxidants and are clinically proven to help strengthen weakened hair follicles.

The new and improved formula is now three times more powerful than when it was first developed. It is so effective that you will see visibly fuller brows in as little as 30 days. The product, which goes on clear and dries instantly should be applied to the brow line nightly. It can also be used to thicken and strengthen eyelashes.

Brow boost has been lab tested and the natural, fragrance-free formula, unlike some other brow and lash boosters on the market, does not contain prostaglandin or parabens. Prostaglandins are a group of hormone-like substances that exist or are synthesised in virtually every cell in the human body. Their function is that of chemical messengers.  Prostaglandin has been shown in clinical studies to stimulate eyelash growth, however there are also many potential side effects including irritation, hyperpigmentation and potential darkening of the iris. 

Give your brows the boost they need!

Brow Boost retails at £25 and is available from Euphoric Beauty and Skin Clinic, together with the fantastic Billion Dollar Brows treatment. Call 01903206600 or book here 

The importance of cleansing

Recent studies have shown that most women only spend about 20 seconds washing their face, which is not a lot considering how much time they spend on their hair and make-up. 20 seconds is not enough to get skin clean.

Due to the levels of pollutants in our environment, skin is actually dirtier now than it was in the past. This, together with cosmetic make-up and sunscreens, combines with the skin’s naturally sticky sebum secretions to form a thick, waxy coating.

A splash of water can’t penetrate this layer of oil-based debris and the result is skin that becomes congested and dull.

When we apply cleanser, we generally use a gel–based, foam or milky cleanser. These formulations contain surface active ingredients which provide the primary cleansing action by emulsifying the dirt and debris, allowing it to be rinsed away. This initial cleansing will only remove superficial debris and isn’t enough for a thorough cleansing. Therefore a double cleanse is always recommend to thoroughly remove oils, dirt and grime.

However most cleansers are water soluble so a double cleanse may not always be sufficient as there may still be oil–soluble substances remaining on the skin, particularly when your skin type is oily. We all know that water and oil don’t mix so to be most effective the double cleanse should begin with an oil-based first step. Environ’s AVST Pre-cleansing Oil  melts the layers of oil-based debris on the skin, allowing the second water soluble cleanser to penetrate even  further than before.

It is important that products used will clean the skin effectively without disturbing its natural barrier lipids. AVST Cleansing Lotion is a gentle cleansing lotion which effectively removes dirt and make-up. It doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals or detergents and so cleans the skin without stripping.

Cleansing is an important part of your skin care routine as your skin products will not be able to work efficiently if they are unable to penetrate properly due to debris barriers on the skin. It really does pay to look after your skin, then you’ll look and feel confident and gorgeous, with or without make-up!

Environ products are available from Euphoric Beauty and Skin Clinic. Book in for as consultation with one of our skin therapists to find out more or book one of our special one-to-one skin analysis events

Countdown to a Wedding

It's not long now until our Assistant Manager Michelle gets married. We asked her to tell us how she has been preparing for her big day....

So the countdown begins……..

In less than four weeks, I will officially become Mrs Robson! As many of you are aware my wedding day (24^th May) is getting closer and the preparations are in full swing.

First thing to tackle is my skincare regime. I have had an amazing result after using the Advanced Nutrition Programmes (ANP) ‘Skin Accumax’ supplement which is great for all levels of problematic skin. With its unique formulation of vitamin A C and E along with a phytonutrient compound, my problematic skin has been banished! I have reduced my dosage from four a day down to one a day to help maintain my results and it has been lovely to hear lots of positive compliments on my skin when people come into the salon. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our lovely clients for your kind words after noticing my amazing results – if you ask in the salon, you can see my before and after pictures!

To support my results from the ‘Skin Accumax’ supplement I also make sure I cleanse and moisturise my skin with other products from our Jane Iredale and Environ ranges. In the mornings I wash my face with Sebuwash, which is a foaming facial wash that is great for problematic skin but can also be used by most skin types. Then I apply Environ AVST moisturiser containing vitamin A, C and E. I am now up to level 3 and can’t wait to move up a level.

A client of mine told me she recently read an article in the Sunday Times about how mums and the school gate are in competition about which level of Environ they are up to! I can’t wait to get up to an even higher level but have to remind myself this is no race and it’s better to take your time moving up the levels to ensure the best for your skin. There are a number of benefits of vitamin A which is in Environ moisturisers but for my skin type it has helped to regulate my sebaceous gland, lock in moisture, increase my cell turnover resulting in natural exfoliation and has helped to improve the overall condition of my skin.

In the evening I also use my Jane Iredale ‘magic mitt’ which I love! This is a mitt where all you need is warm water to take off all traces of my Jane Iredale make-up, even mascara (not waterproof). Once you have used it, rinse it with an antibacterial hand wash and hang to dry and use again the following day. This is a must have to pack in my honeymoon suitcase.

Now let’s talk about trying to achieve the ideal wedding body!! I am in full weight loss swing and only 0.6lb off my target. I of course want to stretch this target and lose a little more!  I have been following the Exante meal replacement programme along with my mum. She has done amazingly well on the diet and has recently been in to Euphoric for an Environ Taster facial, started on the AVST range and booked in for a Hydraboost facial the week before my wedding. So the wedding prep doesn’t just mean for the bride!

But there is no good being slimmer if my skin is bad so I am now using AVST body oil combined with AVST hydrating lotion to help with those little bumps on the back of my arms and legs (called Keratosis Pilaris) and to help soften my skin ready for the big day.

All my pre-wedding treatments are also booked including waxing and our OPI gel colour on my toes, and I am trying to stop myself buying every make-up item from our Jane Iredale make-up stand!

Wedding season is definitely here and we have lots of lovely brides coming in for their wedding prep so I would like to congratulate those who have recently got married and wish all those soon to wed the best on their big day.

Michelle xx

New - Skin Omegas +

Skin Omegas have been reformulated and re-launched as Skin Omegas + with some exciting new benefits. The new formula contains almost double the levels of EPA together with a boost of vitamin A to make them even better for the skin!

Skin Omegas + is made with premium, purified omega 3 from Epax, the world’s leading supplier. Not only do Epax use advanced purification techniques to remove pollutants, but the fish oils are sourced by methods that conserve marine habitats and resources.

Omega 3 and 6 oils are important for maintaining the skin’s lipid layer, which helps to keep it healthy and hydrated. Skin Omegas + is the ideal supplement to hydrate dry or mature skin, resulting in a more radiant complexion. They are also ideal to be taken alongside spray tan treatments as they reduce flakiness and prolong the colour.

As well as being great for skin, Skin Omegas + have other health benefits. They contain 356mg of EPA, which is an essential fatty acid important for a healthy heart. GLA, the second essential fatty acid, is now supplied from evening primrose oil which studies suggest may reduce pre-menstrual breast pain. There is also evidence to suggest that omega oils improve mental function and ease joint pain.

Two capsules of the newly formulated supplement contain 15% of the RDA for vitamin A. This is a great boost for those already taking Skin Vit A +.

Celebrating 20 years of Jane Iredale

These days we are surrounded by ‘natural’ products, however, 20 years ago when Jane started her make-up line, mineral make-up had not been heard of. At the time Jane was a casting director dealing with actors and models going from job to job and having all kinds of make-up put on their skin. She initially wanted to create a foundation that didn’t cause skin problems. Her breakthrough came through the medical community. At the time, laser resurfacing was just starting. Jane’s loose powder foundation was light, easy to remove and a great cover for the redness experienced following treatment.

There is now a full spectrum of natural skin care make-up products within the range.

Mineral make-up has become extremely popular in the last few years, and even though there are now many mineral make-up ranges on the market, not all is created equally. Many brands contain talc, nylon or cornstarch as their main ingredient. This is NOT mineral make-up. The main ingredients should be iron oxides, titanium dioxide and/or mica. Also it should have at least SPF 15. If it’s a good mineral make-up it will contain titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, which automatically give you sun protection.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the brand and the start of spring, jane iredale has launched the new Magic Hour Collection with six new enchanting products for cheeks, eyes and lips. Full of golden light and warm shimmering colour, this romantic collection embodies that special light we see during that "magic hour" just before sunset.  

Moonglow, one of the most popular products in the range, was the inspiration behind the new collection. Moonglow is a quad bronzer that gives a golden glow to any part of the body. So that's what you'll find in the golden Magic Hour collection - products and shades that will send you over the moon!

The Magic Hour collection includes:

Jelly Jar Gel Eyeliner - Naturally creates the rich, captivating look of kohl, but without any chemicals or irritants. Available in Black and Brown, each Jelly Jar Gel Eyeliner provides long-wearing, water-resistant colour.

PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple - Shade Golden Girl creates golden lids that can be sultry or romantic, with a palette of three glimmering eye shadow shades that may be worn alone or together.

Lip Fixation - This dual-ended lip stain and gloss creates a luscious, shiny look while hydrating and imparting a delicious vanilla taste on lips. The new mauve shade, Compulsion, creates a subtle, sultry lip, while Craze takes coral to a gorgeous golden hue.

Touch Highlighter - Available in shade Comfort, this luminising cream-to-powder highlighter blends easily to complement your glowing complexion to highlight the tops of cheekbones, brow bones and the bridge of the nose.

At Euphoric we too are celebrating jane iredale’s 20^th anniversary at our extra special make-up event on Thursday 15^th May. We will be running our ever popular one to one VIP consultations throughout the day followed by a party in the evening. From 6 – 8pm our professional make-up artist will carry out demonstrations and guests will have the chance to try out products, not only from the new collection but from the whole jane iredale range. Guests will receive a party bag full of goodies and there will be 20% off all jane iredale products purchased on the night.

So grab some friends and come down to Euphoric for a great night out.
